"We become the forces of life with our new story.Some of us have only seen death. That was the story we knew.You don't have to pull that trigger anymore". Terrance

Terrance, a 39 year old African American man arrives in New York in 2009 with a food parcel, a packet of cigarettes, a used one way bus ticket from Miami and a very short string of hope. His old story was full of horror and darkness. He holds tightly to the string hoping to start a new story in New York.

"Your Story Matters" followed the moments of change to create the new story and leave the old story behind.
